I find it almost impossible to believe that, if the latest rumours are true, after over four weeks of deliberation, we're now going to throw Dyche, who we haven't apparently spoken to, into the mix, effectively delaying the appointment even longer, so we can assess whether we'd like a bit more of the same old. If any of this has a basis in fact then we're making a laughing stock of ourselves. If I was Pellegrino or de Boer, and had been told we still couldn't make a decision because we needed to talk to Dyche, I'd tell us, Sherwood-style, exactly where we could sick our job. Totally agree. Is a holiday an excuse for an appointment. If the preferred candidate wants the job. They would cut there holiday short.

De Boer and Pellegrino interviewed and both impress. Dyche not yet interviewed as he has been on holiday. Will be approached this week and depending on how he performs expect a decision by end of the week. Three good options. De Boer my least favourite. Had great set up at Ajax in poor league in Holland so of course he would look good. Then blew it at Inter Milan where he had good squad but could not handle pressure of desire and demand from club and fans alike. Probably de Boer is a better coach than manager. Pellegrino did wonders with Alves in La Liga where it is dominated by 2-3 clubs. Would be a possible gamble but so was Pochettino and look how he did at Southampton and Spurs. Dyche has done wonders at Burnley and was doing well at Watford and removed due to foreign owners. Has knowledge of the premier league but can he take his work to the next level that we would want at Palace. I would prefer Pellegrino. Knows Sammy Lee and prefers a pressing and counter attacking game which suits our squad. Also has wide range of premier and euro football knowledge. SO what are your thoughts out there?
The Red and Blue never leaves our Palace empire,! |

Most of us do support Parish but that doesn't mean that we can't discuss his operating style But my point is: results and outcomes. I personally find it tedious that we don't yet have a new boss. But like most on here, I probably lack perspective. Operating style aside -- and we can only guess what that is -- the only true measures are results and outcomes. And on that score, it would seem his operating style has delivered extraordinarily.
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

It looks to me as if there is some activity from Dyche's agent to try again to get us interested. Amusing article which says that Pellegrino is going to Southampton "because it says so in the Sun". Well it must be true then.

I just opened the landing page and saw a big picture of Pardew. Nearly sh*t myself. Then read is was a season review.

At the start of the selection process, one of the criterion mentioned by Parish was to appoint a long-term manager who would not use us as a "Stepping stone" and alluding to getting away from "Transition" etc etc. I said at the time that this fits the Dyche mould perfectly.I might have said on here, but definitely outside of HOL that the criterion didn't seem to match some of the foreign managers who were being touted at the time.A manager from abroad who did well for us would certainly be sought by clubs bigger than us and perhaps we wouldn't be able to keep that person. But nobody knows what's going to happen next year or even in a couple of months. A run of bad results and a drop towards the bottom of the table and the manager will be toast. I can't see him hanging onto any of these chaps for grim life like he did with Pardew; yo-yoing between the Championship and the Premiership might be good for Burnley, but if we go down we might implode.

This makes absolutely no sense to me. The only way the club won't be used as a stepping stone is if the manager fails. Regardless of whether he is British or not if he does well he'll be looked at by bigger clubs. That's the nature of the beast. What a load of old nonsense. Originally posted by Willo

If all we wanted was not to be a stepping stone to higher things we should've just gone out and signed Woy up, buggered off on holiday and put our feet up whilst they refurbished the bogs. Now why didnt we approach Dyche a month ago if we are that keen on him?
